Step 2 Enter global configuration mode. You are in global configuration mode when the prompt changes to Gateway(config)#.

Gateway# configure terminal

Enter configuration commands, one per line. End with CNTL/Z.

Gateway(config)#

Step 3 Specify the country to set the DFC parameters (including country code and encoding). This setting is applied at the system level. All DFCs use the same country code. The default is usa if the gateway is configured with T1 interfaces and e1-defaultif the gateway is configured with E1 interfaces. Use the no form of this command to set the country code to the default of domestic.

Note All sessions on all DFCs in all slots must be idle for this command to run.

Gateway(config)# spe country country name

Step 4 Enter the numbers of the ports to configure. If you want to configure 108 ports on slot 3, enter line 3/00 3/107. If you want to configure 324 ports on slots 3-5, enter line 3/00 5/107.

Gateway(config)# line slot/port slot/port

Gateway(config-line)#

Step 5 Allow all protocols to be used when connecting to the line:

Gateway(config-line)# transport input all

Step 6 Enable remote IP users running a PPP application to dial in, bypass the EXEC facility, and connect directly to the network:

Gateway(config-line)# autoselect ppp

Step 7 Enable incoming and outgoing calls:

Gateway(config-line)# modem inout

Step 8 Return to privileged EXEC mode:

Gateway(config-line)# Ctrl-Z

Gateway#

Tip To save the gateway configuration, save it to NVRAM. Refer to the “Saving Configuration Changes” section on page 57.
